Desire to create

Reading time: < 1 min

I have a Tumblr account and spend far too long on the main website, randomly surfing and finding all manner of wonderous things to “reblog”. It’s an interesting place, filled with angst-ridden teens, provoking artists of many forms and twats like me who don’t actually create anything.

I use Tumblr mostly for capturing things in a very random scrapbook kinda way, song lyrics, quotes, photos, images, videos, the digital detritus that lodges in my filters is spewed onto Tumblr for the delight of, well, me.

There is a part of me that still hankers to be creative, be it writing, or photography (although the latter can be simple bastardry itself). And I guess that in itself reveals a further reason as to why I find Tumblr so alluring as it offers inspiration and ideas.

Ohhh and a word to the wise, Tumblr also contains its fair share nakedness, you have been warned (or advised, whatever you prefer!).

Dr. Who

I’m not a big fan of this show. I probably should be something about it just never really rang true with me in the past.

When Mr. Ecclestone took on the role I watched the first of those and, mostly underwhelmed I didn’t bother watching many others. Then Mr. Tennant came along so I thought I’d give him a shot but, again, it just wasn’t working for me.

Regardless I tuned in last night to watch.. er… wossisname take his turn as the new Doctor and, you know what, I might just tune in again next week.

It might have been that the dialogue seemed sharper (“You’re Scottish, fry something”), it might have been that I prefer wossisname to Tennant, and yes I’m willing to admit that the cute red-headed might well have swayed me (although, seriously, the kissogram outfit, was that really necessary?), but I really enjoyed the show.

So, as well as everything else going on in my life at the moment, I also have to contend with being a .. Who-ite? What do you call yourselves? But hey, it could be worse, I could be watching Caprica, ugh!
